Welcome to Gaia! ::

Laista, well-known across the lands. It's a huge city, beautifully designed and well-made. Its close location to the sea and easy access makes it one of the largest trading points. The beautiful and adventorus landscape surronding it brings many travellers and adventurers seeking rest to the city gates. Yet none of this is the main reason Laista's name is well known, nor why it's held with reverence. The real beauty, awe and fear inspired by this city is in it's residents. They are elementals, people who can control and direct the mighty powers of earth. These people are what causes Laista to be whispered about wherever you may travel.

But now, fewer people choose to go to Laista, and when they do, they stay no longer then their buisness requires. They no longer stay to enjoy the beauty of the city, to spend time at the ocean, to shop at the market full of variety. For now there is something much greater that gripes the people with fear. The elementals have been losing control. Things have been happening that shouldn't have, that were never intended. Fires, storms and deadly earthquakes are the rumors being passed around. People no longer felt safe in this great city.

And the elementals, once confident in themselves and their abilities are plauged with doubts. None know what brought about this change...or those that do will not speak. Emotions will cause even the strongest of elementals to lose control, some storms are happening unexpectedly, without thought. Fear is everywhere.

The elementals began to search into their past to try to discover what had happened, and the common people began to wonder if the world wouldn't be safer without these...elementals.

Go ahead and post your profile Here. Once your character is added to the list you can start. You can also PM me your profile. I'll catch it faster that way. But either way, it also needs to be posted in the above thread.

Shania moved across the ground, her grey eyes flicking at the people crowding her. She could see panicked faces every where. People were scared of the gift they had once valued. Only this morning a house had burned down due to a fire. Those events were still rare, thankfully, but they were increasing as each day went by. Heaving a sigh she made her way to the Guru study halls. She knew they would be as a loss for what to say as they had been in the meeting. They had no idea what was wrong, or what to do about it. There was little room for action or talk

Elwen watched Asiago leave. She hesitated slightly. She preferred to be left alone. But she had overheard his conversation. She was a fire elemental and didn't know him. But she wanted to hear what kinds of things he had dealt with. She moved from her spot by the tree and slowly picked up her pace until she was walking alongside him. "Such an innocent game is so dangerous now." she stated.

Elwen snorted. "No." She said. "Especially me. I hate people." she stated it as a fact. "For example. Normally I'd be far more interested in insulting that hideous hair style or choice of green coat. But as it is, I'm afraid this situation has forced me to play a role of politeness. So here I am." Her blue eyes flicked to him. "What did you think of the meeting?" She asked, biting back another insult. She'd been about to throw in another insult. Damn. She thought This is harder then I thought.

Sure. I could def do that. Honestly I was considering it, I just know less about the other elements. I'll add the ones you mentioned to the list. If you or any one else has suggestions, let me know. Fine with all of those.

I think thats a good idea. But, wouldn't air be the one that can control the temperature to freeze or heat things up?
